[V8] And the verdict is......

Parts car!  I got the tranny filter back in, and when I started it  
up, the clunk in reverse totally went away.....I was psyched.  It  
shifted smooth, and could floor it going down the street, and all  
seemed fine.  I got it on the highway, and floored it, and it still  
slipped(possibly even easier).  So if anyone has a car that's  
shifting fine, but has that clunk in reverse, maybe a new filter  
would solve your's.  No idea when I'm gonna have the time to  
dismember it, but all the NEW parts that were on the car when I got  
it, are mine.  I'm keeping the motor since it's got 125K, and that  
exhaust without that middle muffler while kind of obnoxious, may want  
to throw it on the 5-speed.  I have no use for the mint black comfort  
interior/Titan Grey exterior.  I'm not pulling any parts till I drive  
it to my friend's property, which could be awhile, so don't ask if  
you need something right now.  I may let my friend who's been driving  
it, keep driving it for the remainder of the summer, as it still  
drives fine, just got to keep the foot off the floor on the  
highway....Grandma wouldn't even know there's a problem....Tom
